Comments: Modern Brazilian songstress Luisa Maita's first solo album, Lero-Lero, is a rhythmic, sultry pop record, with influences ranging from downtempo electronic music, to acoustic sensibilities to traditional samba and bossa nova. It's superbly catchy, and Maita's voice, singing in her native Portuguese, blends impeccably with the relaxed yet catchy feel. Try the title track and the beat-driven "Fulaninha."
